If you have never been to a blog conference before, I highly suggest attending BlissDom ‘10. It’s a smaller conference (only 500 attendees) and a terrific way to connect with other bloggers. Plus we’ll be there and would love to meet you!!

We’re excited to be two of the speakers this year!

Angie is doing a workshop with an awesome panel of photographers and I will be speaking along side talented graphic designers (Darcy & Sarah) about improving your brand and online presence through design elements and easy DIY ideas.

You can register for these workshops now!

{Please do! We’ll feel really dumb if nobody shows up. LOL!}

Thursday, February 4th 

2:15-4:00 pm Photography Workshop    |    4:15-6pm  Design/Branding Workshop

Workshops will be 1-2 hour sessions in small, classroom settings. Boxed lunch and refreshments will be made available to Wisdom Workshop attendees.

One thing we realized after attending last year was that we were NOT prepared at all. We had some fun business cards and I Heart Faces T-Shirts to wear, but other than that we were clueless about how to let people know about our website.

If attending a blog conference (and many others are coming up very soon!)… a fantastic way to promote yourself is through laptop and iPhone stickers. They are about $10 and a necessity if you want to promote your brand. It’s really hard to put faces with names, but very easy to recognize a blog banner. 

We saw several of these last year, but had no clue where we could have bought them. NOW we know! Our sponsor Sticviews makes the highest quality stics and are a joy to work with! Even if you aren’t attending a conference, we still recommend this product for promoting your business or blog just about anywhere you take your laptop or phone!

Sticviews is giving laptop stics away to 2 lucky BlissDom’10 Attendees!!!

(another prize will be given if you don’t have a laptop)

If you have registered or know you are about to register for the conference, you are eligible for this giveaway.

I’ve been trying it out since getting home and loving it. I didn’t move on these 2 shots which were taken about 3-5 seconds apart.

Very cool! I love the 15X zoom and stabilizer! Now I can sneak photos of my kids without them knowing.

I found a new website called Photovisi that allows you to easily create photo collages in seconds. I made these from some of the workshop photos from our workshop Flickr pool.

Aren’t these fun? You can make one then download the image for free. There are several fun designs to choose from. Be sure to visit I Heart Faces for re-caps of our workshop. It was so much fun!!
